[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Kyung-pil] Wando-gun, Jeollanam-do, produced 10,000 copies of the leaflet "Local Autonomy Changing My Hometown" on the 30th of last month to inform residents of the necessity of autonomous decentralization and to spread consensus, distributing them to each eup and myeon.

The "Local Autonomy Changing My Hometown" leaflet consists of six pages and contains various contents about local decentralization, including the role of village autonomy, hometown love donation system, introduction of smart ordinance enactment and repeal request system, resident participation budgeting system, and resident autonomy council system guidance.

Wando-gun, formed by islands, has not yet established resident autonomy centers, which are the foundation of autonomous decentralization, in nine of its twelve eup and myeon, excluding Wando-eup, Gogeum-myeon, and Yaksan-myeon.

Considering this, the leaflet includes the basic contents of the autonomous decentralization system and was produced and distributed to inform that autonomous decentralization is not merely a political logic or an empty slogan but plays a practical role in improving residents' lives and enhancing regional happiness.

County Governor Shin Woo-cheol emphasized, "In a highly advanced and complex society, the central government finds it difficult to respond sensitively to the demands of local residents, resulting in side effects where only unrealistic desk theories and rigid regulations are followed," adding, "For the happiness of residents, it is necessary to form autonomous councils that respond most sensitively to needs and solve problems independently at the local government level."

Meanwhile, after completing promotion through the leaflet, Wando-gun plans to sequentially establish resident autonomy centers, the foundation of autonomous decentralization, in nine eup and myeon including Geumil-eup in April, actively encouraging the formation of resident autonomy committees and further resident autonomy councils, leading local decentralization and balanced national development.
